Erasmus + :Jobshadowing at Publiczna Szkola Podstawowa Nr 34 W Radomiu (Poland)

From the 19^thto the 23^rdSeptember, Paqui Peinado, Ana Casas and Ulpiano Losa, three teachers from our school, travelled to Radom, in Poland, to observe lessons at Publiczna Szkola Podstawowa Nr 34 W Radomiu. They could get an insight into both their Bilingual Project and the structure of Polish educational system.   

Among the fulfilled objectives, our teachers gained new English teaching ideas and methods and exchanged good practice thanks to the teachers who let them observe in their lessons. Remarkably enough, our teachers attended Citizenship lessons taught in German, which is the vehicular and target language in their Bilingual Project. Additionally, they could assess the methodological and psycho-pedagogical basis for the teaching of other Non-Linguistic Subjects, namely ICT and Physical Education. Interestingly, our teachers gathered for a meeting with the Pedagogy Team at the school to discuss on problem-solving strategies and the different manners they address diversity. 

                                               

For sure, it was a great experience, which contributed to both job and personal enrichment for our teachers. On the first day of their visit, some English and History teachers at the school hosted a guided tour in Radom downtown, revolving both around the city’s history and Poland’s relation to Germany and Russia. On the second day, out teachers had the chance to fancy the Radom Village Open-Air Museum, showing real settlements in the area from the Middle Ages. On the third day, Paqui, Ana and Ulpiano were invited to a Certificate Ceremony Awards; former students at Publiczna Szkola Podstawowa Nr 34 were awarded with the B1 German Language Certificate. On the fourth day, our teachers journeyed to Krakow, where they could enjoy the city-center atmosphere, as well as the astonishing Salt Mine. On the fifth day, our teachers were received at the school, where they exchanged presents with the host teachers and school board. 

They arrived in Spain full of energy and ideas to share with the whole school community. This would not have been possible without the Publiczna Szkola Podstawowastaff ´s help and hospitality and our Erasmus + Project KA-101 Plurilingüismo: nuestra hoja ruta. We are proud of this experience and hope to go on working in the future.
